Learning outcomes

The main objective of the course is to allow the student to understand the problems that characterise the structure and the dynamics of the communication processes in the organizations in which they will be operating.
The course aims to develop:
- knowledge and understanding related to organizations and their functioning through the study of models, structures and organizational variables. In particular, we give attention to work organization, organizational communication and organizational development processes in Small and Medium Enterprises;
- ability to identify the organizational structures and variables, to use appropriate languages in the approach to companies and human resources, to recognize the communication processes that characterize SMEs in their internal and external relations.
At the end of the course, the student will be able to read the organizational and communication phenomena in the SMEs and to recognize the variables on which to intervene for the development of companies.
